Olde Village Lantern

Don't shed a tear for me, I stand alone

This path of destiny is all my own

Once in the hands of fate, there is no choice

An echo on the wind, you'll hear my voice



Some choose to fall behind, some choose to lead

Some choose a golden path, laden with greed

But it's the noble heart that makes you strong

And in that part I'm with you all along



The old village lantern is calling me onwards

Leading wherever I go

The old village lantern, a light in the dark

Bringing me closer to home



So when you think of me, do so with pride

Honour and bravery rode by my side

And in your memory, I will remain

I will forever be, within the flame



Now at the journey's end, we've travelled far

And all we have to show are battle scars

But in the love we share, we will transcend

And in that love, our journey never ends



Don't shed a tear for me, I stand alone

This path of destiny is all my own

Once in the hands of fate, there is no choice

An echo on the wind, you'll hear my voice
